Hi, Chuck Philo has been seeing Black Phoebes in the Toledo and Hidden Valley areas in recent months. Hidden Valley is between Toledo and Newport and is aptly named as access to it is on an easy-to-miss narrow gravel road off north Yaquina Bay Road (see http://goo.gl/maps/t30b7). Today (April 13), Chuck reports that a pair of Black Phoebes has nearly completed a nest in the west section of Hidden Valley, in the general area where they were found during Christmas Bird Counts in 2012 & 2013.
